Thank you, Pookie, I was thinking that Colin Wilson's The Outsider might be too fringe (even) for this thread. It's great.
Yeah, porkmarras, Last Exit to Brooklyn is a modern prose masterpiece.
All the beats, especially Ginsberg and Kerouac get their mentions,
And people often write about Bukowski here. Burroughs too (Junky is great though). But dammit, everyone should read Last Exit to Brooklyn.
How good is it?
Not as good as On the Road, but better than Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by a slight margin, so it's well worth reading.
